XML Validation SEO Checks Sitemap Index Support Free Browser Tool

Validate Your Sitemap

Enter a public sitemap URL or paste XML directly. URL fetching depends on the remote server's CORS policy. Pasting XML works without remote access.

What This Sitemap Checker Validates

  • XML syntax and malformed document errors.
  • Recognized sitemap and sitemap index root elements.
  • Required location elements and URL formatting.
  • Duplicate locations and missing location values.
  • Optional last modified date, priority, and change frequency values.
  • Common sitemap size and entry-count limits.
  • Sitemap index child sitemap locations.
Important: XML validation alone cannot prove that URLs return HTTP 200, are indexable, or have been indexed by Google. Browser-based fetching can be blocked by CORS. This tool performs local XML and URL checks without an API key or server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sitemap validator?

A sitemap validator checks the structure and contents of an XML sitemap to help identify malformed XML, invalid location URLs, duplicate entries, and common sitemap configuration issues.

Can I validate a sitemap from Blogger?

Yes. Paste your Blogger sitemap XML into the editor. You can also try common sitemap endpoints on your blog, provided the URL is publicly accessible.

Why can't the tool fetch my sitemap URL?

Some websites block browser requests from other origins through Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). Open the sitemap in a browser and paste its XML into this validator instead.

Does a valid sitemap guarantee Google indexing?

No. A valid sitemap helps search engines discover URLs but does not guarantee crawling, indexing, ranking, or successful HTTP responses for every URL.

Is this sitemap validator free?

Yes. XML parsing, duplicate detection, URL checks, and report exports run in your browser without a paid API or dedicated server.
